Namely, pyridonecarboxylic acid derivatives having an excellent antibacterial activity on tubercle bacillus and a typical acid-fast bacteria, favorable kinetics in vivo and a high safety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to an anti acid-fast bacterial agent containing, as the active ingredient, a pyridonecarboxylic acid derivative, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a hydrate thereof, which shows excellent antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and a typical acid-fast bacteria.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Even in recent years, a Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected disease (hereinafter referred to as tuberculosis) is one of extremely serious diseases in the world. The progress of the treatment of tuberculosis was started with the discovery of streptomycin (SM), and then antituberculous action of p-aminosalicylic acid (PAS), isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RFP) was found. By combined use thereof, most of tuberculosis became treatable and therefore, advanced countries succeeded in rapid decrease of tuberculosis from 1950s. However, lately, with the prevalence of HIV infection, tuberculosis has rapidly increased in Africa and Southeast Asia, and the spread of multidrug resistant tuberculosis has been reported in Japan and USA. In addition, patients of infectious diseases caused by a typical acid-fast bacteria, especially Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (M. avium-intracellulare complex: MAC) tend to increase year by year.

[0003] Chemotherapeutic agents currently used for tuberculosis or a typical acid-fast bacterial diseases include RFP, INH, SM, PAS, ethambutol (EB), kanamycin (KM), ethionamide (ETH), pyrazinamide (PZA), enviomycin (EVM), capreomycin (CPRM), cycloserine (CS), prothionamide (PTH), viomycin (VM), and the like, and these pharmaceutical agents are generally used at polypharmacy.

[0004] However, they exhibit unsatisfactory effectiveness and safety, for example, insufficient antibacterial activity against multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis and toxicity toward lever, kidney, etc.

[0005] Under such circumstances, there is anxiety that pathology of these infectious diseases becomes complex and intractable, and therefore, it is strongly desired to promptly develop an effective therapeutic agent which is excellent in antibacterial activity and exhibits no cross resistance.

[0006] An object of the invention is to provide a pyridonecarboxylic acid which shows excellent antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and a typical acid-fast bacteria and exhibits good pharmacokinetics and safety.

[0007] Prior patent applications, which is directed to pyridonecarboxylic acid-type synthetic antibacterial agents, all describe pharmaceutical agents against so-called general bacteria such as Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria but they describe no action against acid-fast bacteria.

[0361] Mouse Acute Toxicity Test

[0362] Test Method

[0363] Male Slc:ddY mice at age of 5-weeks were used as test animals. For dissolving the compounds, 0.1 mol/l NaOH (in saline) was used. Mice were administered intravenously at a rate of 0.1 ml/30 seconds at a dosing volume of 10 ml/kg.

[0364] Peripheral Blood Micronucleus Test

[0365] Test Method

[0366] Used animals and administration method are similar to those in the mouse acute toxicity test. Samples were prepared by collecting 5 μl each of blood sample from the tail vein at 24 and 48 hours after the administration, dropping the blood on a slide at which 0.1% acridine orange solution had been applied in advance, sealing the slide with a cover glass immediately, and allowing it to stand in a refrigerator for 24 hours. The blood sample was observed for 1000 reticulocytes (RC) per individual peripheral blood sample by a fluorescence microscopy and counting micronucleus-having reticulocytes (MNRC) among them.

[0367] The results of the mouse acute toxicity test and peripheral blood micronucleous test are shown in Table 9. TABLE 9 Compd. Concentration Mortality MNRC (%) mean ±S.E. No. (mg/kg) (dead/ test) 24 hours 48 hours 15 50 0/5 0.20 ± 0.04 0.14 ± 0.04 16 150 0/5 0.05 ± 0.03 0.12 ± 0.02 27 100 0/5 0.20 ± 0.03 0.18 ± 0.04

[0368] Among the compounds which show high activity against a typical acid-fast bacteria and Mycobacterium turberculosis, all mice were survived after administration of the compounds 15, 16 and 27, and acute toxicity of these compounds was relatively weak. In addition, the compound 15, 16 or 27 showed weak micronucleus induction (untreated control: 0.12±0.08).
